    My scales do have new batteries in, though, and they were fairly expensive scales. Could they just stop working properly?

    I'm not sure if they would just stop working like that.... Maybe give it a couple of days and see if they even out? If it was me I'd keep using the scales then at the weekend when I had time to weigh myself on the wii (thats the same way I weigh myself!) use that to double check your scales. Maybe do it one after the other. Then if they are way off you'd know.

    I do have wii fit but it won't show me if I've lost or not, if you see what I mean...because I always use my bathroom scales so even if they're wrong, at least they'd be consistent with themselves in terms of moving up or down?! You'd hope?! But maybe I should start using the wii. I just don't like it as I like to weigh in first thing in the morning, naked, after having been to the toilet (I know, TMI!) and before having had a drop to drink or eat...and I won't be able to do that on the wii.

    That's what I do on the wii! :o

    I feel really rough today. :( had a few pints yesterday (only 2.5!) and were playing rounders all afternoon. So I am really achy today, and I have a headache- not sure if it is a hangover (it can't be surely!) or just weather related as its so muggy.

    Oh mine too! and head is really sore, I think it's the weather.

    I am feeling very naughty, about to go and sit in the garden with some wedding magazines and a cold drink....on a Thursday!!! I was visiting girls on work experience placements today and by some stroke of luck managed to fit all my appointments in this morning so now I'm FREEEE for the rest of the day. However I'll more than make up for it tomorrow when I go on a day trip to France with Year 7......5am start, not back until midnight!! So I think that entitles me to a couple of guilt-free hours today...

    Thanks - I will probably try this at the weekend. Not sure what OH will think of me running naked down to the living room to weigh myself! but never mind :)

    jo, hope you feel better soon...I always think alcohol affects you more when it's hot and you're drinking it in the day. On the plus side, think of the calories you must have burned doing rounders!

    I really should do some exercise today but it is sooooooooooo hot....the treadmill is in the conservatory, which is very silly...the wii fit is in the living room so I might close the curtains in there and see if it cools down enough to do some later.

    Hope everyone has a nice afternoon! :)

    My scales reckon I've lost 4lbs since Monday...basically each morning I've weighed and lost another lb. That's not really possible, is it? Wondering if I need to get some new scales :(


    Oh, I would be so excited if mine said that lol!!! :rotfl:

    I do that too!!!! If I accidentally have a sip of water just after waking on my WI morning, I get cross with myself lol!!! :rotfl:

    I've even been known to WI, then do a huge p*o 20 mins later, and then WI again to see the difference - and it can be up to 0.5lb!!!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
